CAP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 776,261, dated November29, 1904:.

Application filed May 13, 1904. Serial No. 207,801. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ENOOH S. ROGERS, a citi- Zen of the United States,residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Caps, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention consists of a cap of the order of a tam-oshanter, which isprovided with an attachment so constructed and arranged that while thegeneral appearance of such cap is preserved it imparts to the same apompadour or turban effect.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a cap embodying my invention.Fig. 2 represents a view of a detached portion thereof. Fig. 3represents a section on line w m, Fig. 2. Fig. trepresents a sideelevation of the cap. Fig. 5 represents a side elevation of the cap, onan enlarged scale, showing also the head of a wearer.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre: sponding parts in thefigures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a cap of the order of atam-o-shanter, which, excepting the feature of my invention appliedthereto, is of usual form.

B designates a flap which is superimposed on the front portion of thetop of the cap and secured at its rear end to said top, approximatingthe center thereof, by sewing or stitches, in the transverse line (I ofthe cap, as most plainly shown in Fig. 1, which line, owing to thefiuffy nature of the flap and of the cap, disappears or is scarcelyperceptible. It will be seen that the flap extends forward from thecenter or about the center of the top of the cap to the front thereofand gradually increasing in height, thus imparting an upward slope tothe top of the cap, elevating the latter and imparting to the same apompadour or turban effect, while in other respects conforming orapproximately conforming to the general contour of a cap of the class.

In practice the flap is made of apiece of material similar to that ofthe cap, the same being folded or doubled on itself and connected alongits meeting edges and then located in the top of the cap and securedthereto, the effect of which when the cap is worn being most apparent inFig. 5, the tam-o-shanter style being in the main preserved.

Various changes may be made in the details of construction shown withoutdeparting from the general spirit of my invention, and I do not,therefore, desire to be limited in each case to the same.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a cap of the character stated, a flap comprising a piece of capmaterial doubled on itself and secured together and occupying theforward portion of the top of the cap, the doubled piece slopingupwardly from the place of connection with the cap to the front thereofand conforming or approximately conforming to the contour of the portionof the top which it occupies.

2. In a cap of the character stated, a flap comprising a piece of capmaterial occupying the forward portion of the top of the cap, slopingupwardly from the place of connection with the cap to the front thereofand conforming or approximately conforming to the exterior contour ofthe said portion which it occupies.
